Depending on the number of children you need to carry, there are two primary kinds of double buggy with 3 wheels: front-facing and side-by-side. Side-by-side buggies are smaller than front-facing ones, however, they have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the most innovative models on the market. It is the tiniest side-by-side buggy in the world and can fit into narrow doorways!
Tandem buggies, on other hand, are often larger. They usually start out as a single pushchair but can be rearranged to take an additional seat or carrycot with adapters. Some tandem buggies are able to accommodate twins, toddlers and a baby or a baby because of their clever seat configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple by adding the optional "Piggy Back Board".
The iCandy Orange is another super-smart tandem buggy that features an exclusive 'cinema seating' design that allows the rear seat to be raised or lowered to different positions so that you can change how your children will sit.

It is ideal for infants, and provides superior stability, manoeuvrability and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double pushchairs that have 3 wheels are easier to maneuver and control than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. This is because the front wheels are smaller, making them less wide, which means less weight is placed on them. This means that they can be pushed more easily, and will also be much easier to maneuver up and down kerbs.

It is ideal for parents who are worried about fitting into doorways or on public transportation. It can be used as early as birth, since it can be used to accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots.
UPPAbaby Vista 2 is another option. It's a fantastic, lightweight buggy that's ideal for city life, but also able to ride on uneven or rough terrain. It can be used by twins or toddlers due to its large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension. Its light frame means it can be carried and lifted easily too. The only issue is that it's a little harder to handle on uneven ground than other models.
Comfort
If you're planning to take your buggy out for long walks or for jogging it's a good idea to invest in a model that can handle rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps and a suspension system to absorb shocks. 3 wheel buggy should be mounted optimally to give you better control over rough terrain and allow you to easily push through corners.

Some models can even be folded with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.
